The corporate speak in this article is dizzying

Ring a ding ding

This game is bullshit and the Engi cruiser fucking sucks

I say if you have two of them and you line up their arc it should penetrate another layer of shield.

Nothing makes me stare at a computer screen without doing anything for hours at a time quite like finding a merchant in FTL

I got a job as a door to door salesman for a year and by the end of it I felt like talking in a way that was both fluid and engaging was my superpower. This is after having such crippling social anxiety that I would often run home and hide. It may be an impractical suggestion, but I would advise you find a structured way to practice where the goal isn't just talking for its own sake.

If I were James Bond I would go underground if I knew a goon squad was coming after me

Is it a coincidence or did they pick the Mali domain space for that reason? That's the story I heard

It's hard to imagine the kind of dead-ender that's still on the actual stormfront when they've pushed the front lines so far into the normie internet

Your ability to craft that explanation into just a few sentences at the top of this comment is so cool and valuable. Thank you

It's really coming down to it now. I put it off for as long as I could and did my best with what I had, but now I have no choice. I really do have to cook something if I want to eat

Maybe I'm weird because I don't see anyone else coming in with a backpack full of stuff and a gallon jug of water, but I pretty much see to my own needs. As far as offerings, I really only take something if it's something I haven't tried before. Yesterday somebody had a bunch of coconut dr pepper cans that were repulsive but neat and clearly a regret purchase. As far as snacks go I guess you just roll the dice whether your person likes them or is trying to lose weight or something. The most useful thing a customer ever did for me was an airplane museum that said I could use their bathroom. I used it nearly every time I went there.

Update: I have completely lost my shit on them
